Question

select the correct answer. which event most directly caused the glorious revolution? a. james iis coronation b. the birth of a son to james ii c. the puritans desire for church reforms d. charles iis support for catholics

Explanation:

James II was a Catholic. When his son (also a Catholic) was born in 1688, Protestants in England feared a long - term Catholic dynasty. This led to the invitation of William of Orange (a Protestant) to invade England, which was the Glorious Revolution. James II's coronation (A) was a normal succession event before there was a major issue with succession. The Puritans' desire for church reforms (C) was more related to the 17th - century English Civil War period rather than the direct cause of the Glorious Revolution. Charles II's support for Catholics (D) was an issue, but it was the birth of James II's son that created an immediate succession crisis.

Answer:

B. the birth of a son to James II
